🔒 Cant get PyCharm to recognise a different version of Python

[polar badger]

Having a huge problem trying to get pycharm to recognise python 3.12 (currently using 3.14). I really need to switch to 3.12, as i need to be able to use TensorFlow to make a neural network (which i as far as i know cannot function on 3.14). Im not sure if its an issue with install directories, any help is greatly appreciated.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

you should be able to change the interpreter in pycharm

[polar badger]

cannot get 3.12 to show up here

[mental arch]

did you install 3.12 somewhere?

[polar badger]

yeah

[mental arch]

howd you install it?

[polar badger]

via the python website

[mental arch]

not via py?

[polar badger]

in the console?

not tried it like that, not sure how to admittedly. i have a brutal fight with pycharm every tiem i do something via the console most of the time

[mental arch]

In your console, can you run py list and show me the output?

[mental arch]

do you have Python Install Manager installed?

[polar badger]

i do, was told to by some jetbrains forum

[mental arch]

what happens if you run it?

[polar badger]

i need to delete the old python launcher by the looks of it

[mental arch]

yea you do. The latest 3.14 is now asking everyone to uninstall the legacy python launcher as the newer one is just a lot better and easier to install for many python versions

[polar badger]

new output

[mental arch]

py install 3.12 might help here

[mental arch]

hmmm 3.12.10 huh?

I have 3.12.12 tho...

anyways...

Restart your pycharm and see if that 3.12 is visible

[polar badger]

finally

gonna hope this doesnt completely brick everything i already have 😅

thanks for the help 👍

[mental arch]

I can assure you it won't

Good luck tho!
